16. Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18. The Lord knoweth the days of the perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19. They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
21. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
